To Sell or to Keep the Gifts?

Image courtesy of www.smoothtransitionsroanoke.com

Disgusted Star DS must really be having one of her worst of times these days. DS has had it, she is full of frustration towards her Previous Relationship PR. In a twist of fate, whether it was intentional or not, PR made insensitive choices that hit DS so bad. From then on, many things were never the same again between DS and an Ex-Chum EC.

DS and EC are now victims of their own personal circumstances, made even worse by the fact that they simply can't avoid being together. Allegedly, DS' disgust towards PR has reached fever pitch these days, and that she doesn't want to be reminded anymore about anything related to him. As in everything that is connected to PR, DS wanted them out of her sight pronto.

Thus one day, she gathered all the expensive gifts (there were tons of them) that PR had given her when they were still a couple. She had them all returned and delivered to PR. PR although shocked, had no choice but to accept them all, yet didn't have any idea what to do with them.

When EC found out about the returned gifts, she could not believe how plenty and expensive they were. So, from out of the blue, she volunteered to PR that she would take care of them. She came up with the "brilliant" plan of selling them and donating the proceeds to charity. No one would really know for sure though as to how EC really felt when she saw all those gifts of PR to DS.

Was EC's gesture a way to assuage a personal hurt -- or something with vested interest -- or both? Whatever her reasons, the end is the same -- she gets to have the cake and eat it, too. The big question now is, what will happen to the unsold items? Does she get to keep them? You guess is as good as mine!

Moderating One's Greed

Image courtesy of www.newgrounds.com

When networks employ child star talents to ink management contract with them, it is imperative that special provisions are in place to make sure that their rights as children are protected. The government has been strict on this as contained in the provisions of DOLE ( Department of Labor and Employment) a government organization that safeguards the rights of the working children (15 years old and below) against a working environment that is abusive - mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful.

But apart from that, there are some violations that exist and these have something to do with management contract. A major network MN has a child star CS under its management. The little star is not that popular yet but talented enough to get MN's interest to put her under its roster of talents. In fact the little girl had already appeared in a teleserye topbilled by MN's most popular loveteam. When the show ended several months ago, MN already stopped giving projects to CS.

When they inquired from MN executives, they were told that MN can not be made to adjust their program's taping schedules to suit CS'. Apparently, the child is attending school and her camp asks MN for considerations or a little adjustment so that she wouldn't miss school and can still work, something which was contained in the contract that CS signed with them in the first place. What CS' camp was asking is exactly the provision contained under DOLE. But sad to say, MN prefers to look the other way and violate their own contract.

What's making it more difficult is that CS has other offers from another major network AN where her schedules would not be a problem because the program itself make adjustments' to their talents' school schedules. Thus CS' camp requested MN that she be released from the contract with them. But sadly, they were always given the run around. Months after, when they made a follow-up, CS camp was disgusted that until then, everything hasn't moved at all, and all they heard were delaying tactics. Apparently, MN wouldn't want to release CS, even though they were not giving her any project for so long.

Lately, MN has been on the losing end after a series of exposes and controversies on the way they are handling/mishandling their stars. Some of their talents are now quietly talking how badly they are treated and paid as compared to stars of other networks. Is this why there are more MN talents now who are non-committal at renewing contracts and have been hinting at transferring networks? This we'll get to see in a few weeks.

"There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace." - Kofi Annan

Can't Have Enough of Excitement

Who says that only girls get "kilig" when talking about their boyfriends infront of people. Is it true that guys are not as open about it with their friends the way us girls are? Uh oh.. you better think again.

Actually, guys have big mouths and love to brag. They enjoy sharing things and maybe getting tips on how to be better and do better -- and so much more. Give them a drink or two and they will open up and divulge even intimate details for everyone to feast on. Really, when men let their guard down, and have a few beers, anything can happen and every girl is fair game.

During a night of unwinding, this Prominent Personality was with a group of news team from a television network. There was booze and all. After everyone had a few drinks, topic shifted to PP and his lovelife. PP was getting a lot of ribbing from the group.

One reporter teased him, " How lucky can you get, Sir, isn't it! Imagine having such a pretty woman (PW) for a girl?!"

The not-so-pretty boy PP replied playfully, "You are right! Indeed!! Until now, I still can't believe that we are already a couple! Can you imagine, from  *name of PW's ex model-boyfriend*  to me PP, how great is that?! I'm kind of feeling like a super handsome model, too. Wooooh!!"

Then he let out a hearty laughter matched with very loud taps on the table. His last very emphatic and excited statement, in tagalog -- "Ako na, di ba?! Ako na!! hahaha!!"

Awww!! Indeed, "Love is never having to say you're crazy, eerr .. sorry."

Quaint Payment Scheme

Beautiful actress (BA) had it all for many years -- fame, money, tv shows, movies, and the lots of connections. She had a contract with a network that assured her of the exposure and shows that kept everything going for her. Stories of her love life proliferated with the mysterious men of all kinds in her life. Foreigners, prominent politicians, fellow actors -- she had them all. The most colorful of these love interests was talented performer (TP).

When BA and TP came out as a couple, kibitzers immediately dismissed their supposed relationship as a farce. TP was said to be vainer than BA. At the same time, BA was also allegedly involved with a scion of a powerful political family then. Thus, the publicized relationship with TP was just a shield and a form of damage control to save their respective careers.

Now, BA is working doubly hard, often hopping from one channel to another to get much-needed projects. She needed every peso to sustain and maintain the kind of lifestyle she was used to, which is quite unattainable at this point. Undoubtedly, she is no longer as hot and in-demand as she was years back.

A few weeks ago, BA and TP bumped into a show where both of them were guests. Suddenly, BA remembered that she owes TP a few hundred thousand pesos. Before TP could even say anything, BA, in her usual bubbly manner, blurted out tactlessly in front of everyone, “Hey, can I just pay you sometime? Or we can just "make out" in exchange for it, you know?” Those who heard her laughed at her brashness, as they all knew of stories of TP's not-so-secret preferences.

However, there is more to TP than his rumored preference. Unknown to many, TP had lots of "energy" when he and BA were still together, as in they would really make effort to make time for it no matter how busy they were. But that was years ago. Will TP now bite into BA's proposal to do barter? Passionate service in exchange for hard, cold cash? You bet?

Such a Careless Behavior!

Sexy Actress (SA) is at it again. Recently, SA has been spotted with a few handsome celebrities, such as a former boyfriend, and her publicly admitted latest “target.” People who witnessed her behavior after an out-of-town show were shocked.

After the event, SA had her flight rebooked to give way to the invitation of a singer who is native to that town. While having dinner, while SA was having a few drinks, people's attentions were turned to the arriving cute young mestizo guy MG who was introduced to her. It seemed like SA and MG immediately hit if off and she invited him to her hotel right after dinner.

At the hotel, SA requested her aide (who was assumed as her roommate) to stay elsewhere in the meantime while she and MG went up to the room. Unknowingly, some people saw how SA and MG flirted with each other as they moved about.

Right smack in the view of other guests who were relaxing by the poolside was the room of SA. Hence,  SA and MG in playful movements were being feasted on. After a moment, the lights were switched off. Yet the guests were shocked to see the silhouette of the SA and MG kissing and cavorting with each other. Then, the two shadows disappeared from view.

Uh oh. Is SA really living up to her reputation? What will the hunks she was rumoured to be dating say about it? More importantly, if SA is indeed to be overflowing with passion and deliberately doing it so carelessly, is she aware of the possible ill effects it might have on her health?

Perhaps, this quote from Aldous Huxley could tie up her behavior and her treatment of her family, “The impulse to cruelty is, in many people, almost as violent as the impulse to sexual love – almost as violent and much more mischievous.”

Collector Pays P1.3 M for Fake High-end Bags

MANILA, Philippines - A 21-year-old businesswoman, who collects designer bags, has filed charges against an online reseller who sold her two fake Hermes Birkin bags, for which she paid more than P1.3 million.

“It was only when I decided to re-sell them that I found out they were fake,” she told The STAR in an interview yesterday.

The woman agreed to talk on condition of anonymity. She also asked that the online reseller, whom she charged with estafa before the National Bureau of Investigation, not be named. The two parties are set to meet tomorrow at the NBI headquarters.

The complainant said she only wants her money back.

“Everyone we consulted, even the Hermes store here, told us the bags were fake,” the woman said.
She said she found the reseller through Instagram in November 2012 and bought a bubblegum pink Birkin (a rare color, according to her) for P660,000 and an orange Birkin for P690,000.

The two bags were delivered to her in January but she had kept them in their boxes and never checked them until she decided to sell the bags after she gave birth later that month.

When her elder sister took the bags to a prospective buyer, she was told they were fake.

Collectors
The two sisters had been collecting bags over the past five years and have about 100 pieces, most of them by well-known designers.

The elder sister said the deal made by the complainant, which she did not know about, seemed a good one since the two Birkin bags she bought were really rare.

“We could get those from the Hermes store (in Greenbelt) but the waiting time is about two years,” the elder sister said.

The complainant said when she told the reseller that the bags were fake, the reseller referred her to a “Birkin expert.” The reseller “told us she would return my money if that person would say the bags were fake. But when he did say they were not authentic, she still refused to give me a refund,” the woman said.

The expert told her to go the Hermes store in Greenbelt to have the bags checked. “We were told by the store manager that the official authentication from France would come in after about three months since we would have to send the bags there. But the manager said that based on just the paper bags, the boxes and the feel of the leather, the bags were fake,” the complainant said.

Can't Stop Drinking His Alcohol

Image courtesy of www.weheartit.com 

While we have been reading about how drinking has affected the behavior of the nonchalant actor (NA), he is fortunate that he not been involved in any accident so far. Always, there were cooler heads that intervened and prevented any catastrophic incident that would endanger him.

NA was seen drunk at a wine bar along the restaurant strip of a famous high-end mall. As almost  everyone already knew him as such, people did not bother him. Suddenly, NA grabbed a man nearby. The atmosphere became tense as customers thought NA was going to throw a fist to the man. To everyone’s surprise, NA told him, “Could you take a picture?” After posing and thanking the man, NA pushed him aside. Indeed, kind of familiar scenes whenever drunk NA was around.

Closer to home, NA was allegedly seen fast asleep in his car in the middle of the night several times. Was NA dozing off the effects of alcohol? Was he so drunk that he could not even make it to his own home?

Perhaps, his network could intervene before NA loses everything, and that includes his image. NA should value the fact, while it is still a fact, that he is a prized talent of his network. The public looks up to him as a role model, and a generation that idolizes and who remembers him by the names of the characters he played in movies and teleseryes.

Why is NA behaving this way again? Is he burnt out with his career? his love life? Is he into alcohol to feel okay and forget his troubles yet again? If he does not watch out, he might find himself in bigger trouble soon. If he doesn't shape up, he will end up losing projects. And if he’s not seen on TV or the movies, fans may forget he still exists and may change allegiance at a blink of an eye. Is NA ever aware that there are serious pretenders to his throne who will only be too happy to see him fall and dethroned? The worst would be the physical effects of alcohol, something that the beauty-crazy showbiz industry will not cherish. On hindsight, for all we know, NA might be sending a call for help.

Drink moderately, for drunkenness neither keeps a secret, nor observes a promise. – Miguel de Cervantes

Making a Just Answer

Image courtesy of www.coupons.answers.com 

“Your right ends where my 'new' nose's details begin,” is the best description of the response of a young actress (YA) in a press conference, which is part of the promotion of a movie. The press was briefed not to ask certain questions to the actors of the movie.

Of course, the press will always be the way they are, and at the risk of his/her reputation, a gutsy reporter will always ask the forbidden question in a way that is not too obvious, but will still get the valid reply if asked properly and only if the one asked goes for it. Hence, a gutsy reporter did direct the forbidden question to YA. Specifically, the press was instructed not to ask about the issue about the change in her face, or the “cosmetic surgery” issue.

Therefore, the gutsy reporter asked YA the name of the doctor who did her nose. Credit should go to the young actress in her attempt to avoid answering the question directly. Her reply was “It’s too personal. Next question, please.” She suddenly pulled an 'Anne Hathaway' on the reporter!

Did YA have a nose job? Will her press release say it is just the effect of good make up and lighting? At any rate, YA should not hide the fact if she did have a nose job as her network is known for having talents undergoing transformations either through surgery or through workout for them to look better. However, hardly anyone in local showbiz admits to having surgery, anyway.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple. - Oscar Wilde
